DARNHILL and Heywood Boxing Club can outsmart their opponents thanks to the generosity of a local businessman.

Building contractor Jack Noon, who joins in the club's fitness sessions, has sponsored a new kit for the boxers.

He stepped in when he saw the old kit was looking a bit worn out, much to the delight of club secretary Arthur Gardiner who said: "Its nice to see a local business man help out it gives Darnhill and Heywood a good name when the boxers look the part going into the ring."
